Wimbledon. The home of tennis. It is without a doubt my favourite tournament and I really do look forward to seeing and hearing the sounds of Wimbledon. The music that is played on the television is different than for the other Slams and the calm and serenity that overtakes this tournament transforms the tennis calendar and takes fans back to the days of women playing in long skirts and men in long pants with jackets and waistcoats.

The draw has been analysed to death and as is the norm on this particular blog, I leave that to those who know how the draws actually work. As I have done in the past I will feature the day’s play and do my picks. The Spin abandoned her picks mid-match due to the loss of a certain player who shall remain nameless.

Most persons have picked Serena Williams to win this tournament and I can see nothing in her draw (I looked) that would upset her.

The off court stuff that is now going on will hopefully not affect play. Much has been said about those off court comments and these have also been analysed to death. The Spin will not post any thoughts on this, except to say, let the tennis begin.

The OOP for Monday has been posted and the matches as well as Spin’s Picks below which are in red:-
